German Scientists Met Openly With Wuhan “Batwoman”

Perfectly timed to coincide with Anthony Fauci's closed-door testimony before the US Congress, a recent bombshell report suggested, based on FOIA'd emails, that Shi Zhengli of the Wuhan Institute of Virology met with Fauci at his National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, outside Washington, in June 2017.

According to the most popular version of the "Lab-leak" theory, it is, of course, Shi's research on coronaviruses in bats which is supposed to have given rise to the SARS-CoV-2 virus which causes Covid-19.

Although the US Right to Know headline - "Scientists at the center of the 'lab leak' controversy met with NIH, Fauci" - implies that Fauci himself met with Shi, Fauci was not even a participant in the relevant email string.

The current, updated version of the article appears to concede that Fauci was not present at the meeting in question, although he did meet Daszak - without Shi - four months later.

For the sake of argument, that Shi did in fact accompany Daszak to NIAID, as Daszak wanted; and let's even say that Anthony Fauci attended the talk which Daszak was proposing to give there with Shi - as the headline still implies.

Some observers have identified the young woman with the long hair next to Shi as none other than Wang Yanyi, the current Director of the WIV, who was a researcher at the institute at the time.

The subject of the Chinese-German collaboration, as indicated on the TRR60 website, was "Mutual interaction of chronic viruses with cells of the immune system: from fundamental research to immunotherapy and vaccination." Now, much of the recent excitement about possible contacts between Daszak, Shi, and Fauci has been fanned by the revelation of a proposed joint project between EcoHealth, the WIV, and other American research institutions, for which Daszak sought funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency in 2018.
